Star Wars always fascinated me as a child and I always knew about the expanded universe. Having read the Thrawn Trilogy last year, it was natural that I’d start reading the X-Wing series, specially since those are deeply interconnected. The book shows the formation of the new Rogue Squadron, an elite 12 starship pilot group that has the hardest mission of the Rebel Alliance. Formed by the surviving members of the last Rogue Group that helped destroy the second Death Star and commanded by Wedge […]
E.K. Johnston also gives good Star Wars.
You know what, the old EU was great (for the most part), but every book I have read in the new Star Wars canon has been great as well. And Ahsoka was no exception. If you haven’t watched the Clone Wars cartoon, you really should. That show, for me, redeemed the younger versions of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and it’s deeper examination of the Clone Wars was fascinating. It also introduced a handful of new characters to the Star Wars universe, including baddy Asajj […]
Let the Wookie Win
Mmmm… At last, the unsung hero of the Star Wars franchise gets his due. Never mind the drama queen Skywalker boys, or that show boating Han Solo, Chewbacca is the “big walking carpet” who gets stuff done. He gets the mission completed without spreading his family drama all over the galaxy. Gerry Dugan is one of my favorite comic book writers. I love his Deadpool run, and was looking forward to reading his Chewbacca adventures. I put it on my list after reading Halb’s review. […]
Cold and Muted and Excellent
In yesterday’s Chewbacca review, I did my best to sum up the recent transition of the Star Wars comic book rights from Dark Horse to Marvel: Star Wars fans were nervous when Marvel/Disney took over Star Wars comics from Dark Horse. For years, DH had told some amazing stories in the Star Wars universe through the medium of comics. It was unclear whether Marvel would live up to Dark Horse’s standards, or if it would just publish tie-in garbage. While I am only a casual Star […]
YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE THE NEW CANON EU. I LIKE IT A LOT.
The good news is this book is better than the first one. The bad news is . . . well, there isn’t really any bad news. This book is better than the first one. The end. Most of the stuff that annoyed me in the first book (the style being so omnipresent it pulled me out of the story, the occasional colloquialism that shouldn’t be in Star Wars, etc.) is gone. Either that or I didn’t notice. Either way, same result. The POV is still […]
“GGWWWRGHH.”
A lot of Star Wars fans were nervous when Marvel/Disney took over Star Wars comics from Dark Horse. For years, DH had told some amazing stories in the Star Wars universe through the medium of comics. It was unclear whether Marvel would live up to Dark Horse’s standards, or if it would just publish tie-in garbage. While I am only a casual Star Wars fan, I am a true comic book nerd. I am happy to report that Marvel is doing great with Star Wars. They […]
